Highway 35 connects Highway 401
at Newcastle to Highway 60 east of Huntsville. It is a long a scenic
highway that can be very busy during peak periods of the summer. Although
Highway 35 was untouched by
provincially highway downloading, both Highway 35A and 35B were removed from the
highway network at that time. Interestingly, Highway 35 is currently
co-designated with Highway 7, 7A, and 7B, this is the only current case in
Ontario where a highway is cosigned with a 'parent' route, an alternate, and a
business route.

Road Info: Until quite recently,
there were many stretches of Highway
35 that had been very neglected. In recent years, however, nearly the
entire length of Highway 35 has been rehabilitated. Highway 35 is now
in good shape for virtually its entire length. Because Highway 35 is
such an important tourist route, traffic is much higher on summer weekends
then it is throughout the rest of the year. Be weary of congestion
that regularly occurs throughout the summer months, particularly south of
Lindsay.
